Telent’s Rail Engineering team are thrilled to announce the opening of a new Rail FTNx Reference Model at its training facility in Chorley.
The new model enables engineers to access the latest FTNx technology and equipment, supporting with realistic hands-on training in a safe environment away from the live railway.
With the model, Telent can simulate traffic and services across a representative rail telecommunications network. This will enable teams to test solutions for customers such as Network Rail in a near-real environment, providing Telent engineers with the competencies to then carry out the work on site.
In addition to sharpening existing skills, the model will also support training programs for new engineers and early careers.
The model was opened at the beginning of May with a pilot training event led by Kevin Bonanno, Director of Rail and James Morrissey, Engineering Director. The pilot event was well received by those who attended, providing a solid baseline for those working on FTNx related projects.
